Decarbonizing steel is as tough as steel

MIT News
Advanced steelmaking technologies could enable significant decarbonization of the iron and steel sector and improve the world’s chances of achieving long-term climate goals.

Recovering from the past and transitioning to a better energy future

MIT Energy Initiative
Emily Carter (right), the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University, explained how climate change mitigation must include transformation, intervention, and adaptation strategies. William Green, director of the MIT Energy Initiative, moderated the discussion.

How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion

MIT News
MIT researchers added nanoscale filtering membranes to a carbon-capture system, separating the ions that carry out the capture and release steps, and enabling both steps to proceed more efficiently.

How can India decarbonize its coal-dependent electric power system?

MIT Energy Initiative
India has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions, a difficult task as the country’s electric power system relies on many coal-burning power plants. While some of the plants are fuel-efficient (right), many more are not (left). MITEI researchers have explored and clarified India’s decarbonization options and have posted their methods and results for use by other countries in the midst of similar energy transitions.

3 Questions: Exploring the limits of carbon sequestration

MIT News
Rincon de la Vieja, an active volcano in Costa Rica, experiences elevated levels of carbon dioxide due to its volcanic activity, where CO2 naturally seeps from cracks in the volcano's foundation, creating a unique environment for studying the effects of how plants might respond to rising global CO2 levels.

3 Questions: What the laws of physics tell us about CO2 removal

MIT News
A new American Physical Society report led by MIT physics professor Washington Taylor explores the physical limitations of carbon dioxide removal and concludes these technologies are worth pursuing in tandem with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Smart carbon dioxide removal yields economic and environmental benefits

MIT News
A new MIT study finds that biochar (charcoal produced from plant matter and stored in soil) is a cost-competitive option for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide removal is expected to play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with long-term climate targets.

Designing tiny filters to solve big problems

MIT News
“I would love to see a world where we could eliminate thermal separations, and where heat is no longer a problem in creating the things that we need and producing the energy that we need,” Zachary Smith says.

A new catalyst can turn methane into something useful

MIT News
MIT chemical engineers designed a two-part catalyst that can convert methane gas to useful products. The catalyst consists of iron-modified aluminum silicate plus an enzyme called alcohol oxidase (enzyme not pictured).
